August 2021 - Citizenship Applicants

[hassan09]

Good morning all, I got some questions regarding the upcoming oath ceremony: how many emails/notifications will we get for/prior to the oath? I went through an immigration lawyer and not sure if I'm missing any documents from them for the time being. The way it's written on the online portal makes it look like sth has already been sent out AND there'll be other docs coming my way, and I'm not sure if I'm missing anything.

My oath date will be in mid July, thank you:

Follow the instructions we sent to you for information on:

• how to attend the ceremony
• what documents you have to present

The notice you’ll receive is the official confirmation of the appointment.

This is a common message displayed at the top, you'll be receiving an email from them prior your oath date! nothing to worry about.

Hello Friends,
I applied for my Canadian passport (express) yesterday and feel great as will receive it by this Friday.

THANK YOU ALL for supporting each other and helping by answering the questions. This forum was huge support for me.

I know eventually, everyone will get to the end goal but the timeline might be different. Good luck.

Thank you Admin for creating this thread and updating the tracker for us.

A quick snapshot of my timeline after the test:

The test appeared: on Feb 28
Test completed: March 1
Decision made: May 17
Oath invite: May 19
Oath completed: June 14
Certificate received: June 21
Passport applied: June 21

People who think the passport application process is crazy these days to our surprise it wasn’t that crazy. We did walk-in application and where out within 3:30mins. The officers are working overtime to help the citizens. Kudos to them. Location: Toronto

Did you have to show the proof of travel for express service?

Does anyone know how long it might take until I get my next invitation to take the test?

Hello Friends,
Can you please let me know if my case seems usual or should I start getting worried -
Type: Paper application (me + son)
AOR: 19th Nov 2021
BG Check completed: 24th Nov 2021.

No update after 24th Nov 2021.
Should I order GCMS?

TIA!

Update:
Citizenship tracker says Test Invite sent but haven't received any email yet.
Hopefully will receive soon. Feeling a bit relieved!

It can be days/weeks - no way to know for sure. Good luck, hope you get it soon!

For future reference, don't wait for the actual email. The moment you're in the test window, you can directly login and take the test at: https://ct-tc.apps.cic.gc.ca/?lang=en using a supported browser (Chrome/Safari only).
